Psychotherapy is a lifelong arduous learning and self exploration process that will improve the quality of life. I approach therapy with genuineness, unconditional positive regard, accurate empathy, and respect. I will competently employ techniques in which I have received training to assist you in reaching your goals. Technics I may use are EMDR, hypnosis, confrontation, desensitization, homework, humor, imagery, 'I' statements, modeling, psychodrama, journal writing and role-playing. If through the course of psychotherapy an acceptable degree of progress is not reached, I will refer you to another licensed professional.

Living with a chronic health condition or pain can be overwhelming, scary, and confusing. At times you don't recognize yourself anymore, and you wonder what new limitations the day might bring. You know these struggles are somehow behind your depressed and anxious feelings, and you feel alone...that no one understands. Right now, you have more questions than answers, but you know you'd do anything to get your life back. The roller coaster of doctor visits, medication changes, and emotions is becoming too much and you're ready to get off the roller coaster and feel grounded again.

My counseling style is to connect a client’s goals and hopeful outcomes with the realities of what brought them to counseling and to partner with them to see current breakthroughs as well and a healthy and productive future. I'm excited to work with multi-cultural clients in individual counseling sessions on social-emotional issues, grief and loss, sudden life changes, mood disorders such as depression and anxiety, career counseling, and marriage/family counseling. My hope is that with my support a client will hopefully change their current reality in a space where it’s okay to not be okay.

I identify as a cisgender, gay man within the LGBTQ+ community.
Taking the first step towards entering therapy is a huge, very personal, and sometimes frightening step to take. Bravo for making it this far! I am a clinical Social Worker who went back to college after a “mid-life” crisis. I had years of therapy myself and felt ready to help others. I am glad I did, because Social Work, by far, has been the most rewarding experience of my life. I firmly believe life experiences shape who we are and how we manage each day in our lives. I grew up in conservative Baptist and career military environment. Each of these environments brought their own challenges as a child and teen.

Hello, I'm Jason Williams and I am pleased to have the opportunity to work with you. I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor since 2017. My approach to counseling is eclectic, with a focus on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as my primary theoretical framework. I've been told that I am very easy to talk to as my style of counseling is largely conversational. There are times that I use homework and journaling for my clients depending on the counseling relationship dynamic. I tend to incorporate psychoeducation about CBT and how Thoughts, Feelings and Behaviors are connected.

Welcome! I understand that it can be uncomfortable to reach out to someone you don't know with the expectation of sharing your story. I strive to create a supportive, affirming, and nonjudgmental space in order to foster a safe environment for growth at your own pace. I believe we all have the inner resources to move towards wholeness, and much of the therapeutic process is recognizing and connecting to those resources.

I counsel men struggling with depression, anxiety, emotional intelligence, self-esteem and hypermasculinity.
Challenge Your Self. The most important liberty is the freedom to be one’s authentic self. Often we trade in what’s real for role-play, theatrical performances we believe to be more appealing and entertaining to public audiences. We construct false narratives and get lost in the melodramatic portrayals. Psychotherapy increases self-awareness by broadening personal perspectives & creating progressive solutions to regain a sense of self. By removing the social mask and being more accepting of the work needed for personal transformation, we rewrite our stories.

My passion is to help those that live with lifelong disabilities and present complex and/or substantial behavioral issues, which can include problems relating to noncompliance, tantrums/meltdowns, physical aggression, self-injury, destructive behavior, elopement, feeding problems, toileting, and school-related behavioral difficulties. Those seeking services are often frustrated or overwhelmed with these behaviors, as they can pose a risk to the individual or others, interfere with the individual's ability to function in typical environments, and/or interfere with the acquisition of skills or independence.

Male Therapists
As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?
There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.
How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?
Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client.
Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?
Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with therapists of a specific gender. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.
Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?
Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
